Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith

Little Phoenix raised its head up right and gave a light cough, attempting to be arrogant.

Huang Yueli saw through his plan immediately and she evilly smiled, “I say…. Wang Cai, you shouldn’t have forgotten that we’re still in the wilderness and your Sister here hasn’t taken any grease for the past few days…”

Little Phoenix shivered and was scared till it immediately stood upright.

“You… why are you scaring an adorable and innocent boy like me! Sp… Speak I’ll speak alright.”

Deep down his heart, he silently cursed this female demon for her ruthless ways but did not dare to voice out his thinking.

“Actually, when I came out of the Sky Phoenix Ring yesterday, I realised that something was wrong. Haven’t you noticed that the air around this array feels very familiar?”

Huang Yueli blinked, “Really? Do you need to make it so profound?”

Little Phoenix angrily retorted, “It’s true! Not that I’m deliberately mystifying anything! This array is apparently left behind from the ancient times and the person who set up this array is a peerless expert so he left behind his presence in this array, which is why even after tens of thousands of years, this array hasn’t completely dispersed yet!”

Huang Yueli said, “Really? Then why can’t I feel anything?”

“Because you’re a human and I’m a phoenix. We phoenixes’ senses are much more sensitive than humans!”

“Alright, this I’ve gotta admit,” Huang Yueli nodded and questioned again, “Then…. this expert’s presence which was left behind, why did it made you feel familiar?”

Little Phoenix continued, “If your five senses are as sensitive as mine, then you’d definitely have the same feeling because this kind of presence, I have sensed it at two other places before!”

The more Huang Yueli heard, the more muddled she became, “Which two other places? Have I been there before too?”

Little Phoenix threw a “you’re an idiot” glance as it stared at her, “Of course! These two places, one is the Valiant Martial Manor in South Yue Kingdom and the other is in Celestial Light Academy’s Scripture Depository! When you first took out the Blood Feather Silk Cage which your father left behind and when you opened that secret compartment in the Scripture Depository, I sensed a similar presence. Only the other two place’s presence weren’t as strong as this place!”

A lightbulb lit up in Huang Yueli’s mind as though she suddenly understood something but wasn’t that clear.

“Then… this means…..”

“This means, the peerless expert who set up this array should have a blood relation with you and moreover your father made you look for this, maybe…. It is related to this array.” Little Phoenix explained.

Huang Yueli thought carefully about what Little Phoenix said.

If Wang Cai’s senses hadn’t gone wrong, that would be enough to conclude that this array was related to the item which Bai Liu Feng left for her…

But, wasn’t this just a little too coincidental?

Did she had such dog sh*t luck? At Celestial Light Academy, her clue was cut off and even the item in the secret compartment which Bai Liu Feng left behind was gone. So in the normal course of events, the possibility of her being able to continue investigating was very minute.

But now she was so lucky to reconnect with the broken clue while she was escaping for her life?

A bad feeling arose faintly in Huang Yueli’s heart but she wasn’t able to understand what was wrong.

Little Phoenix looked at her dazed look and couldn’t help but tugged at her dress hem.

“Hey, Female Devil, why are you in a daze? Do you or do you not believe in what I said?”

Its sparkly eyes were affixed on her when Huang Yueli suddenly stretched out her claw and both her hands pinched Wang Cai’s chubby face, as she kept rubbing and stretching it.

“Female Devil—–! You…. what are you planning to do! Let this Little Master go!”

Little Phoenix suffered a ravage and it couldn’t help but started screeching loudly.

Huang Yueli smiled, “I suddenly realised that a brat like you is quite smart and adorable! I’d not expected you to think of such things and actually did me a big favour!”

Little Phoenix kneaded his face which had turned red from the pinching and its ears secretly flushed a pink shade.

“That…. that is definite, I…. I am originally smart and adorable…”

Huang Yueli beamed and continued, “Now all’s good, looks like we will be able to leave!”

Little Phoenix was stunned, “Huh? It wouldn’t be that fast? Although we’ve finally found some clues, but to leave would probably be difficult and the complexity of this array had gone beyond my imagination. From the recollection in my memories, even if it was in the God Realm, this kind of array is very high levelled!”

Huang Yueli, however, seemed to have a plan up her sleeve as she smiled, “Things aren’t as complicated as you think. In actual fact, haven’t you told me earlier the way to break the array?”

“Did I?” Little Phoenix was at a loss.

Huang Yueli nodded, “You did! Twice previously, when I opened the Blood Feather Silk Cage and the secret compartment, I used my blood so it showed that the clues which my father left for me, under normal circumstances, needed to use close relative’s blood before it can be activated…. Since this array is part of the clue which my father left for me, then naturally it would also need…..”

“Blood!”

As Huang Yueli spat out the last word, simultaneously she flipped her right hand and retrieved a dagger from her realm ring, as she cut her left index finger without the least hesitation.

Fresh blood immediately poured out.

She shook her finger and let the blood drip onto the ground.

Huang Yueli and Little Phoenix held their breaths as she stared at the ground without blinking.

The moment her blood touched the ground, the entire huge stone array vibrated and the surrounding huge stones started to shake, as though it would collapse at any moment.

Little Phoenix shrieked and moved sideways to hide.

However, the rocks didn’t drop down but suddenly flashed brightly at its original position on the greyed floor tiles. A palm sized stream red thread seemed to be leading the direction forward.

“Wa…. It’s true! This also can!” Little Phoenix cried out in alarm.

However, before one woman and one bird could get excited, the red thread extended to around one meter and suddenly stopped extending.

“This…. what’s going on?” Little Phoenix asked curiously.

Huang Yueli muttered to herself irresolutely, “Should be… because there’s not enough blood?”

“Ah??”

Under Little Phoenix’s confused expression, Huang Yueli picked up the dagger once again and this time round, she slit a cut on her wrist, a rather large one, around half an inch long.

This time, blood continued to gush out from the wound on her wrist and flowed onto the ground.

The red threat extended forward with lightning fast speed as it led out a clear path.

“That’s great, we finally found the way out, Wang Cai quickly catch up!”

Huang Yueli run forward along but its short legs weren’t able to catch up at all as it procrastinated and ran a little. On discovering that he had been shook off a rather huge distance, it cursed lowly and turned back into a Little Phoenix as it spread its wings and tried its best to follow up.
